ROYAL LIFE SAVING


Effective supervision by lifeguards is a critical preventative measure in ensuring patron safety, yet ongoing training often prioritises rescue and emergency response skills. This online module focuses on the challenges lifeguards face with visual cognition, memory, attention, and physiology — and provides practical strategies to overcome these issues.

This module is designed for practising lifeguards who already hold core qualifications and want to build advanced supervision and scanning skills. It is also suited to those wishing to meet ongoing professional development obligations or prepare for supervisory roles.
The module takes approximately 40 minutes to complete.
There are no formal prerequisites. This module is recommended for lifeguards with existing experience who wish to extend their professional knowledge and skills.
- Learners complete interactive knowledge checks and activities at the end of each topic to demonstrate understanding before being awarded their certificate.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion. Completion of this module can also contribute to meeting annual in-service training and professional development requirements for lifeguards.
